Public Education

Presentations & Demonstrations King County Search Dogs is invited to give many presentations on search and rescue dogs to school and camp groups every year. The talks are geared to the age of the students from kindergarten up and are designed to teach a few common sense personal safety tips as well as the role of search dogs in rescue missions. Handlers are able to do small search demonstrations with the dogs that are always entertaining. With the consent of the hosting organization, the demonstrations can include having the dogs search for students as well as having time for petting the dogs. KCSD demonstrations can be coordinated with related classroom activities and have included other units from the King County Search and Rescue Association.
